Fixed...sort of

Yesterday's post about the coffee table reminded me that I had grand designs for the little broken blue chair. I did follow-through and glued the broken area together, but the husband leaned back one leisurely day and snapped it in two AGAIN. He is currently banned from sitting on the chair.

So I glued it back together again and painted it a ghostly white, though I couldn't completely cover the blue underneath even after two coats (I didn't bother sanding it down, novice that I am) -- which is just as well, since I like the faux distressed look I ended up with.

It wasn't until I downloaded the image from my camera that I noticed the pale yellow tidbit in the corner. I realized it was the edge of Kumi's dress as she ran by. She really likes the chair, as you can see:

The patchwork blanket is from my mama (I mentioned it a little while ago) and it's covering the less than stellar gluing job I did, though you can't tell from this photo:

I love how the yellow dress looks against all the white and patchwork blanket:

Kumi enjoyed wearing her matching hat for all of five minutes and refused to wear it outside where the sun beat down mercilessly. It must have been close to 100 degrees today and we were red as currants when we got back from our walk. This lovely dress ensemble is from her grandparent's neighbor in Indiana and was the perfect outfit for the sweltering weather, like a cool sip of freshly squeezed lemonade.
